I am not so sure whether it is the longest because we have a natural curve in our palm and the middle finger is at the highest point. SO, that might be the answer. Well if all our fingers are same, we would look like "The Simpsons" or any cartoon character. I dont know whether it would make any difference as long as we have all our finger, we should be able to do what we do.

Most scientists adhere to the theory of symmetry, but tack an additional aspect onto this theory, one they refer to as the "geometry of closing." The geometry of closing is merely scientific jargon for the fact that when the hand closes to form a fist, all fingers touch the palm of the hand at the same time. This way, when they grasp an object, they all share the work equally. Simply put, the fingers on our hands differ in length, because this particular shape works so well. Have you ever noticed that when you touch the pads of your fingers to your palm, the fourth finger is the longest. This is because of the length and position of the metacarpals.

If all fingers were the same length it would be harder to put them up inside myself,and now I can feel more than one spot at the same time,and one finger goes up deeper inside my friend,so yes it would make a difference.
